As a writer, lecturer, and grassroots and media catalyst, Linda Eyre's mission statement is: FORTIFY FAMILIES by Popularizing Parenting, Validating Values, and Bolstering Balance. Linda and her husband Richard lecture and present keynotes and seminars throughout the world on parenting, lifebalance, and values-based time management to audiences ranging from national conventions and senior corporate management to state and local chapters and educational entities.
One of the Eyres' best-selling co-authored books, Teaching Your Children Values, became the first parenting book in fifty years (since Dr. Spock) to reach #1 on the New York Times best-seller list. They have also advocated strong families and balanced life styles on major network shows, ranging from Oprah, Prime Time Live and Donahue to Good Morning America and The Today Show and in national print media from the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to USA Today. They founded (and run) the international parents' cooperative organization valuesparenting.com and were named by President Reagan to direct his White House Conference on Children and Parents. Richard and Linda have nine children (one of every kind) and live in Washington, D.C. and Salt Lake City.
Every mother experiences those days of discouragement when she feels helpless, hopeless, hapless and even horrific! Learn how to change those days when you "didn't plan to be a witch" to days of understanding who you are and what you are about! Having a plan to be connected with children's needs for the three stages of parenting which include teaching pre-schoolers to feel joy, elementary age kids to take responsibility and teenagers to learn charity is the key to making those hard days seem bearable and those "pay days" seem worth all the effort. Learn the secrets of being content and connected with yourself amidst the mayhem, knowing that you are on a path that will change young lives for not just this generation but many more to come!
